Delicious vegan no-bake recipe for chewy homemade granola bars.

Ingredients

  • 5 cups oats (rolled or instant)
  • 4 tbsp ground flax
  • 2 cups smooth peanut butter (or nut butter of choice)
  • 1¼ cups maple syrup
  • ⅔ cup mini chocolate chips (dark, plant-based)
  • ⅔ cup freeze dried strawberries (chopped)
  • sprinkle salt (to taste)

Directions

  1. 1

    To a bowl, add the oats and flaxmeal, and stir until combined. Next, add the peanut butter and maple syrup. Stir until a thick "batter" is formed. 

  2. 2

    Gently stir in the chocolate chips and freeze dried strawberries. 

  3. 3

    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and transfer the batter to it. Using the bottom of a mug or another pan, pat the batter down until completely firm and evenly dispersed in the pan.

  4. 4

    Refrigerate for one hour to set. Once set, remove from the pan with the parchment paper, and slice into 24 pieces. Store the bars in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days or longer.
